Sizzling Time-Lapse of the Sun Will Heat Up Your Day

NASA recently released a very cool time-lapse video of the sun made up of photos taken every eight hours over a five-year period. The shots, collected between June 2010 and February 8 of this year, are the latest example of some of the neat things NASA is doing.

A NASA spokesman said the various colors emerge due to different temperatures.
